- The ongoing probe into singer Mohbad’s demise has become quite the labyrinth of surprises, with recent developments that have raised eyebrows.
- Prime boy, Rapper Zlatan’s protege, turned himself in to the authorities after being declared a fugitive and accused of dishonouring police invitation.
- During a heart-to-heart with TVC, He let the cat out of the bag, insisting that he was never given the ‘heads up’ by the police to show up for questioning.
Singer Ibrahim Owodunni, famously known as Primeboy, has asserted that the police didn’t extend an invitation for questioning regarding Mohbad’s demise before branding him as a wanted suspect.
He made this revelation during an interview with TVC News on Thursday, just before voluntarily handing himself over.
The Lagos police command declared Primeboy wanted on Wednesday, saying he failed to honour their invitation. They also placed a N1 million bounty for anyone with information that would lead to his arrest.
But the singer, who appeared before the police with his lawyer, said he earlier wanted to go to the authorities but was advised to wait till he was invited.
“That’s a big lie. How will I receive a message from the police and I will refuse them? Before all this ‘wanted’ issue, I wanted to go and explain myself at the station because people started accusing me wrongly.
“People that I called said I should chill, I should not go anywhere, I should wait for them to invite me,” he said.
Primeboy further clarified his relationship with the late 27-year-old, describing their bond as that of childhood pals.
He harked back to Mohbad’s famous line ‘stepmother no care’, in late singer’s song, asserted that during those times, he was like a stepmother to him, playing the roles of both a father figure and a close companion.
According to him, their connection ran deep because they lived together, and his mother cared for them both as a pair.
“Mohbad is my childhood friend, he is my friend. All those times of ‘stepmother no care’, I was his stepmother then, I was his dad, I was his friend, I was everything to him because he lived with me then. My mum fed two of us together,” he said.
